Nik wanted to hit his forehead, but alas, his hand was tied up. "Just leave it now!" He growled. Kai immediately put the phone on silent and ran to the bathroom. He made Nik stand and removed the blanket, leaving Nik naked with just a blue bag tied to her arm. "Remove this too!" Nik hissed. As he was completely naked, Nik put his other hand over Kai and walked towards the shower. "There is stool here. Why don't you sit on the stool and take a shower? I will adjust the shower downwards." Kai suggested and made Nik sit on the stool. "Why do you have to drink so much?" Kai sighed. "Leave! Just go and prepare my clothes, food and some medicine for this headache. We have many things to deal with today." Nik sat before the warm striking water and literally meditated. He wanted to stay away from relationships and marriages but at last, he decided on having a contract marriage to satisfy his parents. What was the result of it? The same - the tension, worry and time waste he didn't want
[Sunday, Wedding Day] Lily walked on the white carpet with a bunch of white flowers in her hand. She didn't want to walk with her father and because of that, they had a little cold war, but at last, Lily won with Nik on her team. She began to walk with a heated mind, but a step towards Nik with a wide blue beautiful calm beach behind him made her relax. The faint gushing sound of water hitting the rocks, the squawking seagulls on the top, and the small breeze ran an instant chill down her spine. It was multiple times more wonderful, relaxing, and alluring than she thought. Unknowingly, a wide smile appeared on her face and her pretty golden eyes turned wet. Nik's lips too stretched to see that expression on his bride. He was unable to take his eyes off Lily. Though, she was wearing an extravagant bridal dress the first time he saw her, the simple elegant, breezy and comfortable dress brought out her cheerful nature and appeared apt to her character. The few steps between them fe
"When will you be back?" Nik looked at Kai. "May be one week!" Lily wanted to ask if he could take her with him, but before she could open her mouth, Nik voiced, "Kai, assign her a bodyguard and ask him to drive Lily back home. And Lily, you can contact Kai in case of any emergency." Lily's heart sunk in sadness. 'Come back to reality,' she reminded herself. She wasn't expecting an exotic or splendid honeymoon but at least she expected him to spend that night with her. "Ok," she said and put on Nik's expressionless face. "Nik, we can take a flight early in the morning. No need to rush," Kai suggested, after observing the emotional and expressional change in Lily. "Why? Are you busy today?" Kai blinked his eyes and shook his head. 'Where did their love and obscene PDA go?' He glanced at Lily who was standing with her eyes fixed on the ground. His hair on his hands raised, feeling the commotion going on in Lily's heart. Any girl would have many expectations and imaginations ab
Trevor's eyes widened and his lips shook to see Miss Bella coming towards him. "Hi, Trevor. You still work here. Nice! I will ask Nik to appoint you as my bodyguard just like before," she smiled and patted Trevor on his arm. "Miss Bella, I am already the bodyguard of Mrs. Cooper," he muttered with his head down. "Oh! Not a problem, I will talk to Aunt Emily about it," she assured him and was about to press the doorbell when Trevor stopped her. "I am the bodyguard of Mrs. Lily Nikalus Cooper and the boss isn't at home," he blurted out, clenching his teeth tight and praying not to be slapped. "What?" Bella was puzzled. The astonishment in her sound was so clear that Trevor began to get frightened if he spoke out the wrong statement. 'But isn't the whole country aware of sir’s marriage?' "When did he get married?" "Yesterday," he whispered with amusement. ‘Where has she been this year? In Jungle!’ he laughed to himself without showing it outside. Though he is a bodyguard with a str
"Bella, what are you doing?" Nik's voice echoed in the house as Bella put the phone on speaker. "I came back," she answered as she had a bite of breakfast. "What do you mean by that? We broke up and it has been a year." Bella dropped the knife and fork, creating a loud irritating sound. "Correction, babe. We didn't break up. It was just a break." She hissed, staring at their picture on the phone. "And you fucking got married just in this one year. What happened to our five-year-long relationship? Or are you bored of me?" "Bella!" "That's not what you call me, babe!" Bella clenched her jaw. Nik pursed his lips and hesitated, but was left with no choice, "Babe, we are not meant to be with each other." "Is it? Did you know that after dating me for five long years? I don't believe you. There must be something that the gold digger has more than me. What is it? Is she good at sex?" she smirked. "If that was your requirement, they are many women whom you could bang
"So, you suggested taking a break because you want to get rid of me?" Bella asked with a broken heart. Nik did get fed up with Bella's arrogant nature, but never did he think of his life without her. She had always been by his side for five years and the mere thought of her disappearance was unbearable. However, even her extremely annoying nature wasn't tolerable too. Since Bella had already decided to go to America for a year, Nik thought it was the correct time to check how his life without her would be. But he couldn't say the same to her and hurt her even more. "No!" He lied, "I found those traits that you lacked in Lily." "Do you think I'm a fool to believe it?" she roared. "You never brought up the topic of marriage and even if I brought it up, you just ignored it. You always spoke about marriage as if it was a handcuff to your hands and legs. There must be something behind you getting married and also within a short amount of time." She chewed as she analyzed Niklaus' int
[Forty minutes ago]"Hello, What the hell is happening here?" Bella yelled over her phone."Mam!" The guy on the other side fumbled with fear at the sudden call from Bella."Why wasn't I informed about Nik's marriage?" she hissed and hit the wall hard."Did...Didn't you ask me not to call about Mr. Cooper?""I did!" she screamed, "but don't you think I should be informed about this? Fine! Tell me what happened." She didn't want to waste time on unnecessary matters. Knowing how Nik got married all of a sudden was all she needed. After fifteen minutes of brief about all the headlines from the past ten to fifteen days summed up the whole story.Bella listened to it patiently but a few things didn't match. "I don't think Nik knew Lily earlier. I know all of his friends and common friends." She twisted her mouth. "Was Nik invited to Lily and Drake's wedding?" She felt Nik's love story was a made-up one. However, she wanted to verify and see Nik's expression in the marriage."Yes!" "Good!
"Drake!" Nik yelled helplessly through the screen. 'Think! Think!' He can't let Drake take Lily. He was so stressed out that his mind was about to crash. 'Yes!' he hurriedly took his phone. He adjusted his voice and calmly and most leisurely began talking over the phone. "Hello, what's the current stock price of the Denholm industry? Shouldn't be much, right? Because of the ongoing murder plan case on Drake Denholm?" Nik smiled as sweat droplets formed on Drake's forehead. "Oh!! That's it! How much percentage should I buy to become the major shareholder?" Drake's heart took a halt, after hearing the word, 'major stakeholder.' His feet unconsciously stepped back. "Fine! Fine! I won't touch her." He was so frightened of his dad. He was well aware that his dad would be already agitated because of the loss he had created because of a single girl. The prestigious and age-old history of Denholm's empire collapsed and became a joke because of him. So, he didn't want to create any more mess
